Umm, weren't voter "receipts" outlawed some time back because of this exact issue?
Thats not how it works. The idea is that you make your choices on the machine, and when you lock them in, two things happen: They are electronically recorded in the device for the normal count, and also, a paper receipt is printed. The voter checks the receipt to see if it accurately records his choices, and then is required to put it in a ballot box retained at the polling site. If there's a need for a recount, the paper receipts can be checked. I imagine a well designed system might show the paper receipt through a window, but not let it be handled, to prevent serial fraud.
